MAHANA ARRIVES
SICKNESS DELAYS BERTHING. Soldiers' fiancees predominate among the 955 passengers who arrived at tho port of Wellington by tho Malinna from London (via Panama) at a late hour last evening. It is regrettable that the new arrivals will have to remain apart from their friends for a few days longer, as the wireless has informed the authorities that passengers by the ship have developed scarlet fever. This will mean an exhaustive examination of a very largo number of people (well over 1000, including the crew). Tho contacts will have to be isolated, and the ship fumigat* ed, so that, though a medical staff will go off to the ship in the stream this morning, it is not <inticipated that tho Maliana will bo permitted to berth until Monday morning. There are considerably over a hundred children on hoard, and it is probably among them that the fever has broken out. Of 'the 1)55 passengers, 250 are for Wellington, .110 for Auckland. 90 for Lyiteltoli, and 75 for Port Chalmers. Tho Maliana is really the first ship to 'bring post-war immigrants from Britain.
